\u201cSing, Sing, Sing\u201d \u2013 Musical Musings in March<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n But I must admit, there is nothing more beautiful than hearing one of my grandchildren sing a little song for me. Or when I catch my husband (who doesn\u2019t sing at all by the way) humming a few bars of a song.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In my earlier years, singing was the most important thing to me. My voice was an instrument that needed to be exercised, cared for and used daily for it to be at its best. I was committed to doing whatever needed to have a beautiful voice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As the years have passed, singing is still important. But what has changed is that I don\u2019t spend an hour a day working toward having a beautiful voice. I\u2019d rather be studying God\u2019s Word or writing a blog post. So this once beautiful, well-coiffed voice is now ordinary. I\u2019m okay with that. And with this voice, I still sing, sing, sing praises to my God and King.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I imagine King David had a naturally beautiful voice. I imagine that his voice was one that others stopped to listen to. I imagine that his voice could be heard over the other voices singing. But I also imagine that King David\u2019s voice was His gift from God in order to sing praises to God.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We see glimpses into this idea from Scripture. Psalm 104:33 (NIV) shares these words of David. \u201cI will sing to the Lord all my life: I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Psalm 96 is dedicated to singing. \u201cSing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord all the earth. Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.\u201d<\/em> (Psalm 96:1-2 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And if this isn\u2019t enough, there are plenty more. Take a look at Psalm 9:11, or Psalm 30:4, or Psalm 33:1-3, or Psalm 47:6, or Psalm 68:4, or Psalm 81:1-2, or Psalm 95:1, or Psalm 98:1, or Psalm 149:1.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n David loved to sing praises to God. And so should we! It doesn\u2019t matter if you have a good voice or not, God delights in hearing us sing to Him. So today, let\u2019s sing to the maker of heavens and earth. Let\u2019s make music to glorify the Name of Jesus. Let\u2019s sing, sing, sing!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cSing, Sing, Sing\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chorus:<\/p>\n We will sing, sing, sing <\/p>\n What’s not to love about You? <\/p>\n You are the love that frees us (Chorus)[i]<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you\u2019d like to listen to “Sing, Sing, Sing,” click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Donna<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"sunrise](\"https:\/\/fullmeasureofjoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/sunrise-1-28-15.jpg\")
<\/a>I know many people who have pretty remarkable voices. I enjoy listeninPsg to someone who is able to sing beautifully and who are willing to use their voice to glorify God.<\/p>\n
\nAnd make music with the heavens
\nWe will sing, sing, sing
\nGrateful that You hear us
\nWhen we shout your praise
\nLift high the name of Jesus<\/p>\n
\nHeaven and earth adore You
\nKings and kingdoms bow down
\nSon of God, You are the One
\nYou are the One we’re living for<\/p>\n
\nYou are the light that leads us
\nLike a fire burning
\nSon of God, You are the one
\nYou are the one we’re living for<\/p>\n
